Hofbauer et al suggest that the stimulation of the pool of M-CSF precursors to committed osteoclastogenesis by RANKL may be one of the central pathophysiologic pathways involved in increasing the number of osteoclasts in osteoporosis.
Although the role of the osteoclast in bone resorption is becoming better understood [ 1], much remains to be learned about osteoclastogenesis and the exact mechanism of action of anti-resorbing agents on the functional osteoclast.
We demonstrate that pre-osteoclasts stimulated with RANKL for 2 days are rendered resistant to the IFN-γ induced inhibition of osteoclastogenesis, NO production, and upregulation of CD11b and RANK surface expression.
In contrast, Wei et al . have demonstrated that pre-osteoclasts do not lose their potential to differentiate into mature osteoclasts following a similar exposure to IL-4 [ 50 ] . It thus appears that IFN-γ anti-osteoclast activity is mediated by inducing terminal differentiation away from the osteoclast lineage, while IL-4 directly interferes with RANKL signaling during osteoclastogenesis.
The present results predict that timing of IFN-γ exposure will be an important determinant of its biological function during in vivo osteoclastogenesis.
